3.0 out of 5 stars Useful Charcoal Starter, June 4, 2009

This charcoal starter is more useful and faster than just brute force lighting up charcoals on the grill. The one downside is that the first time that I used it, the internal coating/ paint cracked and has fallen off.

I saw it used on the food network and bought it. The chef said she loves it because you don't have to use lighter fluid. I love the taste of my food now. I also purchased some Firestarter nuggets to not have to use the newspaper. The food taste so much better without the lighter fluid.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better than none, but not nearly as good as the weber, July 20, 2010

I bought this model at a local store 3 years ago. This year it started falling apart. The sidewalls are now very thin and have holes in them. The weber chimney charcoal starter is a far better design, with thicker metal and features that allow the charcoal to get ready faster.
